Scotia Fre Connect was born from a vision to simplify complex financial infrastructure for Canadian businesses of all sizes.
In 2019, three former fintech executives recognized a critical gap in the Canadian payment processing landscape. Traditional solutions were either too expensive for growing businesses or too complex for rapid integration.
After experiencing firsthand the frustrations of lengthy API integrations and opaque pricing models, we set out to create something different. Scotia Fre Connect emerged from hundreds of hours of developer feedback and real-world testing with Canadian startups and mid-sized enterprises.
Today, Scotia Connect powers payment infrastructure for over 500 businesses across Canada, from Vancouver tech startups to Toronto e-commerce giants. Our mission remains unchanged: to democratize access to enterprise-grade financial technology.
